While sitting or standing before any fire, look into the flames (or flame, if
using a candle). Visualize the fire bathing you with glowing, protective light.
The fire creates a flaming, shimering sphere around you. If you wish, say the
following words (or something like them):

"Craft the spell in the fire;
Craft it well; Weave it higher.
Weave it now of shining flame;
None shall come to hurt or maim.
None shall pass this fiery wall;
None shall pass No, none at all."

Situate the cauldron between 2 black candles, with a third black candle opposite
you on the far side of the altar. Burn a protection or binding incense. Have the
names of your enemies written on a smallpeice of parchment. If the names are
unknown, merely write all my enemies. Sprinkle basil and elder flowers into the
cauldron. Say:

"Bubble, bubble, cauldron bubble
Burn the evil, destroy the trouble."

Ignite the parchment from the central candle and drop into the cauldron. Take up
the wand and stir the air above the cauldron while chanting:

"Darkness ended,
control is done.
Light has come,
My battle's won."

Take the ashes and herbs outside. Throw them up to the winds and the Moon.

This ritual is best suited for a rainy day, although any day when negative
energy permiates is work-able.

Under the watchful eye of the moon (preferably a waning moon), light a white
candle on your altar. Watch the flame as it flickers, and imagine that negative
energy is as mutable as the flame. Feel all of the negative energy in your body
collecting into the soles of your feet. Once you feel that all those
undistinguishable, negative energies are settled, blow out your candle, and say
to yourself "and in a puff of her breath, it was done."

Walk outside, preferable barefoot, and sprinkle Basil or Salt over your path.
Ideally, you should walk to a river or another body of water, but any special
place will suffice. When you get there, (which depending on how negative you
were feeling can be anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour), if you can, let the
water run over your hands and feet. If you feel inspired, you may want to say
something like:

"May her Earth below my feet support me,
May her Wind in my hair sooth me,
May her Fire in my heart drive me,
May her Water wash away all that weighs me down,
Never to return again."

Notice the lightness of your step. Gaia has taken the heaviness from you and
left you with only her love and joy. At this point I usually collect some
leaves, a stone or a twig, to carry back with me as a reminder of the love of
the goddess.

Trace a pentagram over the object that you wish to protect while saying:

"With this pentagram
Protection I lay
To guard this object
Both night and day
And for him who should not touch
May his body shiver and quake
I now invoke the law of three
This is my will, so mote it be!"

Here's a simple safety and protection meditation. This visualization can be used
around people, pets, homes, cars, airplanes, and around anything you want to
protect. After doing this a few times, you will not need the candles. You will
be able to visualize the ball of white light at any time and any place. If you
wish to protect a loved one and you have a photo of them, place it between the
candles for the meditation. (Don't let it catch fire!)

You may cast a circle if you like, but it is not necessary.
Light white candles for protection.

Begin the meditation:

Sit down and get comfortable. Relax. Breathe slow and deep. Let all tension flow
into the earth. Feel calm and peaceful. You are completely relaxed.
Now visualize a beautiful white light all around you, like a bubble. It shimmers
and sparkles. Now make it stronger, and then make it shine brighter. Make it
grow until it fills the room you are in. Fill the bubble with love. Know that it
will protect you where ever you go.

To protect a loved one:

Now picture your loved one. See a glowing light all around them. It is just like
the bubble you are in. It glows with safety and protection. Make it stronger,
bigger, brighter. Visualize this as long as you like. When you are done, wish
your loved one well and know that they are safe.

Now prepare to end the meditation. Feel your circle of light bring you back to
the present moment and the room you are in. Take a deep breath and stretch for a
moment before you get up.

Let the candles burn as long as you like, then snuff them out. You may light
them at any time you wish to strengthen the visualization and protection.

Assemble a candle, incense, a dish of water, a dish of salt, and bless them.
Open all the doors and windows in the house. Take up the salt, and walk around
the house clockwise, going clockwise through each and every room. Throw a pinch
of salt into each corner, and through each doorway and out each window. As you
toss it, see it burning away negativity. Repeat as you go, several times in each
room,

"By the power of the salt, I cleanse this house."

Next, light the incense, and again walk clockwise around the house, censing
every corner, and sending the smoke through each doorway, and each open window.
See it blowing away all of the negativity in the house. Repeat as you go,
several times in each room,

"By the power of air, I cleanse this house."

Repeat the process, this time with the candle, making sure to shine the light in
each corner, and through each doorway, and each open window. Repeat as you go,

"By the power of fire, I cleanse this house."

Lastly, take up the bowl of water, and repeat your process through the house,
sprinkling the water in each corner, through each open door, and each open
window. This time repeat:

"By the power of water, I cleanse this house."

...as you go, several times in each room.
When you have finished, pause, and walk through the newly cleansed house,
feeling the energy carefully. If the cleansing needs repeating, do so, but
rarely will it need to be done a second time.

This is a variation on a popular spell used to stop someone from harming or
bothering you. This must be performed during a waning moon.

On a piece of parchment or recycled paper, write the name and birthdate of the
person you are wishing "away".

Now fill an air-tight container (like a baby food jar or tupperware container)
with water. Add a pinch of one or more of these magical herbs: ash tree leaves,
clover, lovage, lilac, garlic clove. Take the paper with the name on it and fold
it three times. Tie a black string or thread around it and drop it in the water.
Seal the container up and bury it in a safe spot in your garden, yard or flower
box..

Once the person has left you alone or no longer poses a problem to you, open the
container and empty it to the earth. Keep the container instead of leaving it to
Mother Earth.

I call upon the highest
source (_______) available to me at this time......
(you can fill in specific name here if you want, i.e....Archangel Michael,
St.. Germain) (but is not necessary).
I ask that they cut the Psychic Ties between me and
(whatever emotion you
are feeling about who or whatever). Please cut these Psychic Ties and
carry
them to the light to be filled with Unconditional Love. Please replace
those old Psychic Ties with Inner Peace, Courage, Security, Unconditional
Love, Joy, Laughter and Happiness. So Be it, it is done!

you can use the above
affirmation for any situation........example.....if you are in the mode of
crying a lot over things....be careful here.....because crying is good! It
is a release from
what is hurting you....however if you find yourself crying to much, or at
times that is in oppriate......then use the affirmation to cut the ties
between you and your tears as they relate to your problem Now, as you
start asking for the Psychic ties to be cut.......don't be
surprised if there is a change in your relationship.....and he stops
calling as much......remember you have asked for things to change for your
highest good. He is not abandoning you further.........the universe is
just giving you what you want/need.

The smudging as
suggested last night is wonderful. Some people don't resignate well to the
smells of the herbs....if you are in that category......let me know...and
I will provide you with some alternatives.....right now, I am being
reminded of a process I did.......simple sea salt water.......and I
started slinging it....

I don't know if you have
access to the following or not.......but there is a candle I sell that is
wonderful. Called Crystal Journey.....they come in like 15+ different
formula's......they have a Protection...and a healing...and a harmony. I
burn them a lot......they are made with true
essential oils, and crystal's. Each candle burns for approx.. 15
hours.......sometimes quicker if that is the vibration you need.

Let me know how things
go....and I will continue to tune in for you, be happy to do what ever I
can to help you.
